A minor in History tells employers that you’re intellectually curious and able to view problems from multiple perspectives. Because history gives you a broad, solid foundation, your career opportunities are countless. Through coursework in the minor, you’ll enhance your critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills - skills that are highly valued by employers in many occupations across a variety of industries.
